afeared I can't hold fast much longer"
1t seemed strange to him that his strength
should be giving out now, but it was not so
strange to Tom Golden when he came
clambering over the end of the scatfolding
and found his hands in pool of blood, with
the red stream leading backward to where
Barclay had sunk down in dead faint
from the loss of it.
1t takes time to tell all this, but it was all
over before the first Of the men from below
could reach the spot.
1t took some minutes for Tom to get the
better of the strained nerves and dizzy head
which had come from his swing in mid-air,
and the others did not notice that he had no
word of gratitude for the man who had
saved him at such cost to himself, for Bar
clay Leonard had given great start when
the crash occurred, and in his excitement
never noticed what cash he had given him
self with that razor-edged knife as it fell
from his hand.
The marvel was that he had been able to
save the other with the blood pumping from
severed artery in his arm, while the clean
cut was laid wide open by the intense strain
he had undergone.
Things were vague and confused about
him when he opened his eyes again;
he was glad to lie quiet and he seemed to
go through a long succession of bad
dreams before he lapsed finally into a rest
full sleep, and woke to find the morning
sun shining again and Tom Golden standing

all the lights in the houses were out, but
this was town which had natural gas, and
standpipe at the end of the street sent out
its far-reaching glare showing him patient
figure sitting upon the home steps. 1t was
a warm night, and his mother had come out
there to wait for him; he was all she had,
her hope, her staff, her pride; and instead
Of feeling self-reproach for the anxiety which
his absence had given her, he was impatient
when he saw her rise and come toward him
as she recognized his approach.
There was dim light burning behind the
glass in the entry, but all at once it flashed
and spread with tremendous glow, and the
force of a terrific explosion burst out VIM
dows and doors. Instantly he knew what
had happened. Some defect of the plumb
ing had allowed the natural gas to escape !;
it had filled the cellar first, then risen and
spread until it reached the light in the hall,
and this was the result which had followed.
The house was old and dry as finder In

While Tom stood still and gazed with ap-
palled eyes at that spectacle of swift destruc-
ton, his mother wrung her hands and ran
to him, shrieking:.
"Oh, Tom, he's there; he's lost! Poor,
poor Mr.. Leonard"
And at the same instant Leonard appeared
at the shattered upper window and looked
down upon the barrier of leaping, quivering
flame which stretched between him and
the ground. There seemed no escape for him.
He saw Tom and lifted his hand in a gesture
of farewell.
Where now was the murderous spirit which
had swayed Tom Golden? Gone as he faced
the deadly peril which menaced the other :;
gone utterly as he saw the look of resignation
on Leonard's face. A hoarse cry welled up
into his throat, and he found voice to shout

place to the carpenters, and small army of
workmen were swarming about the place. 1t
was still early morning, and only two had
gone as high as the fifth story. Being some
distance apart, they looked like two spiders at
the top of that great web of scaffolding; one
had a sharp knife in his hand, the other
was driving spikes into a joist which he was
making secure.
Then, all at once there was a crash and
downfall of yielding timbers; section of
the scaffolding had given way and the man
who was pounding went with it for short
distance. Then his hands, which were
thrown up, caught at and closed upon slen-
der brace which was torn loose at one end
while it held at the other. and he was left
hanging by that frail support, which creaked
and swayed with his weight, and threatened
every instant to break away and precipitate
him to that fate which for one brief ago.
nizing moment he had escaped.
The workmen below cried out as they saw
his peril; some stood, dazed with horror;
others ran for the ladders and began to climb
toward him; but all would have been over
before they could have reached helping dis

MORNING SONG,
SAMUEL MINTURN PECK.

Sweetheart, the night is over, the mists have
shrunk away;
The morning beams are gathering dew drops
from the spray,
And every little leaf
With a rapture like to grief
Is a-quiver with the kisses of the summer
winds at play.
Sweetheart, come let US wander; the paths
are blossom-strewn;
There are daisies for your tresses, there are
peoples for your shoon.
Let their beauty and their glee
Make a tender thought for me
Ere the summer day has t1oated to the golden
gates of noon.
Why should we part, lover
When true lovers wed
Summers in the heart, love,
When their bloom is dead.

said Tom in a hard way, and
the next moment he clenched his hand and
scowed upon his deliverer while he ground
out between his teeth

though the confession seemed to choke
him. You've got it all your own

Tom Golden had been elated by the belief
that he was the favored one, and it was hard to
have the trimming cup of his hopes dashed
away Just as his lips touchedit. He was angry
to think that bit of girlish hero worship
should turn the scale, and the fact that it
was his life which had been saved rendered
him powerless to make an effort in his own
behalf
Possibly it was the blood-letting which
had cooled the current of passion in Leon
ards veins.
Look, here Tom," he said quietly, "I'd
made up my mind to stand out from be-
tween you and Jessie before this happened,
and l amt minded to change it now for all
that you tell me. had to fight for it, Jest as
you're fghtin' now but I'd got over the hard

"She don't. That's jest girls way. It's

that's all. Now, then, can't we be friends

spirit was stirred.
